This article basically just discusses how the diary of a survivor Holocaust has been given to the Holocaust museum by the author of it. It may not seem like anything special since there are about 150 other diaries that have already been donated to the museum, but this is the first that has been written by an American captive. He wrote in this diary while he was in a labor camp, even though it was something he knew could have led to his death. Something I find pretty funny is in the article he talks about how the two times he almost got caught with the diary was when it fell out of his pants in front of the same guard, but he claims this guard was the only one with any compassion, luckily for him. When the guard asked him about it, he replied, "I'm writing about the nice vacation I'm taking here in your compounds." I think its pretty interesting to hear someone talk about the since of humor he had when he was a captive in a Nazi labor camp, knowing he could die any day, yet he was still making jokes.
